Also maybe put 4 stakes around the seedlings and cover with a shade cloth.
Shade clothe comes in different %'s of blockout, 90% down to 50% around here. Scale it over the years so the seedlings adjust, 1st year maybe an 80%, second year 50%. |
Thanks for the immediate response
No Greek importer have ever heard of such a thing as Antistress?. and it would be rather extravagant to place an overseas order for a gallon of it. Further on, it would never pass the Greek border, because it is illegal to import any chemical products without license from the Ministry of Industry and Technology (sic?I?ve tried it before).
As for the shade cloth, my local supplier has never heard of such a thing, and advised me to use a sheet of a synthetic cloth commonly used in Greece for collecting olives as well as for the protection of young olive trees from hot, dry winds. (In the last decade we have suffered several desert storms directly blown from Sahara, sweeping over the country with a reddish cloud of dust -- Sahara sand is rather red than yellow?) Anyway, is this wrap OK? One never knows, but I will give it a chance. It is dark shiny grey, very much like the commercial potato bags we see in the supermarket? Can that be it?
